About Pihlajasaari (Rowan Island)

Naturist beach on eastern part of Pihlajasaari. Naturist area is basically a location, so there aren't restrictions or amenities except a grill which you can light, a pier where you can safely (slippery rocks) go swimming and a changing room + cabin style toilet. I find Pihlajasaari safe, occationally a security guard / maintenance worker makes rounds.On the textile side of the island there's restaurant Pihlajasaari which rents tents. The camping area is not nude, but is located close to the naturist area. You may stay at the camping area during the weekends from Fridays (12.00) to Monday (12.00). Tent fee is 15 euros per day.
